Meredith Shafto, PhD

I am an experimental psychologist, and have been interested in language and cognition since I was an undergraduate. I have conducted research in fundamental processes underpinning errors in language production and comprehension, and for many years have been particularly focused on questions of how language is affected by cognitive aging. See My Research page for more information about my ongoing research.

After completing my PhD in cognitive psychology at the University of California, Los Angeles, I moved to England to pursue a fellowship at the University of Oxford, and from there took a research position at the University of Cambridge. After more than a decade in Cambridge, I have moved back to the United States and currently live in Fort Leavenworth, Kansas.
